I’m big on personal finance stuff… I love reading blogs about it, and I’ve even been known to try to start my own in the past, but I’m too busy making money to actually write about what I’m doing with it.
One of my favorite personal finance blogs is by a married father who is not just frugal, he’s downright SMART about money and how to save it without letting the frugality feel like it’s something of a burden to the family. On The Simple Dollar, Trent’s Twenty Free Ways To Please Your Lover (In A Family Friendly Way) serves as not only a great list of free suggestions you won’t be afraid to tackle in front of children (or parents, for that matter), but as a reminder that it really can be the little things that count most in a relationship, even if you’re still in the “honeymoon phase” of dating.
Some of my favorites on the list:
8. Leave a Post-It. If you leave first in the morning, put a Post-It note on the bathroom mirror for her to find.
16. Watch what he wants. If he wants to watch a particular show that you don’t like, just let him watch it, cuddle up next to him, and try to enjoy it.
20. Say “I love you.” Out of the blue, without provocation.
Watch what he wants???? Hell no. I say let him watch his show and go shopping.
LOL Darcie… You would say that!
In most cases, I would agree with you. But I think this one touches on the subject of making a minor sacrifice to allow your mate to be happy without fear that you’ll complain or try to change things.
I know that if my next guy is willing to sit down and watch Ugly Betty or some 4400 reruns with me, despite feeling like he wouldn’t like them, shows me that he’s taken a vested interest in me and is trying to connect with me in a way. Sure, there are a million ways to communicate, but how many of them say, “Let’s snuggle on the couch and watch some stupid television?” LOL
That was a great list. My fave was “Take Interest.” I’m a big one on leaving little notes in unexpected places. I also find that an unexpected hug from behind with a kiss on the neck can go over REALLY well..lol
